MINERS VACATION
DELAYS DEUVERY
OF COAL ORDERS
Coal Committee Parcels Coal
Out in Ton Lots During
Cold Snap
The 6 • vacation" of 7,000
Ohio coal miners in the
Eastern Ohio District, which
practically tied up all min-ing
operations, made itself
felt in .Akron.
Members of the committee,
which is handling the coal
sale for the Service Pin As-
.soeiation, have been deluged
with requests during the re-cent
cold spell while the i
mines were idle.
Last Fiday, the last two cars
of coal en route, arrived as a
"life-saver," when meibbers of the
committee were of the opinion that
all of the cars on the road had
already arrived.
• Knowing that it requires at
least a week for coal to travel from
i the mines to Akron the committef
decided to deliver no more than
one ton to each order until the
coal was exhausted.
An effort was made to get at-
]east one ton of coal to Goodyear-ites
who had none at all.
All mines resumed work October
2, and the committee hoped that
more coal will be received by the
first of next week.
Previous to the miners voluntary
"vacation" the mines were handi-capped
by lack of open top rail-way
equipment.
It is the hope of the committee
that the bulk of alI the coal which
has been ordered by Goodyearites
will be delivered by the first p,rt
of November.
